As-Sabaq Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السبق), was a mosque located in Medina, Saudi Arabia, and it was located north-west of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi,[1] near the SAPTCO (Saudi Public Transport Company) station. The place was originally a place for horse racing during the time of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This is the spot where the beloved Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم thought the sahaba about the strategies of war.
There is an account in Hadith Al-Bukhari from the isnad of 'Abdullah bin Muhammad, Mu'awiya, Abu Ishaq dari Musa bin 'Uqbah dari Nafi' and Ibnu Umar, that the prophet participating in a horse racing from Al-Hayfa to Tsaniyatul Wada' around six or seven miles, and from Tsaniyatul Wada' to the Bani Zuraiq Mosque for around one mile. Ibu Umar also participated in the race.[2]
